Cafe platinum glass dishwasher

The dishwasher is very quiet and very attractive. However the top rack doesn’t close correctly and needs a lot of coaxing to finally go in right. The middle rack is wobbly on one side.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re glad to hear you appreciate the dishwasher’s appearance and quiet performance, and we’d like to provide information about your model. We recommend following the loading instructions that start on page 13 of the manual; that’s linked here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--N8WRS7By--/4dadfa2e6981309ae8cb45af496c66528e74d809.pdf. Loading the dishes in this way will help the racks to stay balanced.
We also recommend checking the top rack to ensure no residue is preventing it from sliding smoothly. We have more information about what to check when a rack is sticking/not pulling easily in this article: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=38988.
If you ever have any other questions or issues, we're always glad to offer assistance.
Our café is much quieter compared to the one we replaced. We no longer have to turn up the TV due to noise.The drying power is amazing. The individual spray locations under the silverware bin, knife and untensil racks are great. We love the interior light. However, the capacity is less than we’re use to. Our plates aren’t held as securely; they fall one way or the other when loading. The bottom tray falls off track very easily, so you need to operate carefully. This is our first new dishwasher in 20 years, so I imagine, like most things, quality and performance take a backseat to profit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new Café dishwasher with great drying power along with the individual spray locations and lighting. We would like to help and provide some guidance regarding utilizing the loading space on your model. There is some information and illustrations starting on page 14 in the manual that you can view at the link here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--N8WRS7By--/4dadfa2e6981309ae8cb45af496c66528e74d809.pdf. If the Upper or Lower Racks on your dishwasher are not rolling out all the way properly, the most common cause is either a hard water mineral build-up or a build-up of detergent residue. We have an article with more information to help with this at the link here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=38988&_gl=1*. Our products are designed with durability in mind, and we use high-quality materials to manufacture our appliances. If you ever need assistance with your product, we’re here to help.
The Cafe dishwasher is great. It's utensil holders are perfect for everyday, cooking and fine dinnerware. I also use the center holder for special sized containers. The jets for the middle rack is perfect for our drinking containers. I'm so glad I choiced te Cafe.
I have had GE dishwashers for over 20 years. I have never had a problem. I just received my new Cafe series dishwasher and love it. The racks and tines are well spaced to hold everything in its place and the third rack for smaller flat items is perfect. The dishwasher is very quiet and the ultra dry function does a great job

We value your loyalty and are willing to work for it by creating appliances with great features like the CustomFit Silverware basket and the CustomFit Lid Caddy to enable you to clean your stemware, reusable straws and cup lids in your dishwasher.
Beautiful, quiet, and love, love the inside lights! Holds a large amount of dishes and the top pullout tray is great for knives, spatulas, etc. It performs well, quiet, and dries the dishes appropriately. The platinum glass is gorgeous!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great machine, easy to use and very efficient! Also love that it connects to my phone and lets me know when the cycle is done.

Congratulations on your new dishwasher! We're so glad to hear you're pleased with the unit. Yes, the built-in wiFi and the SmartHQ™ app make it easy to control and monitor your smart dishwasher from anywhere. You can also conveniently access the latest features like favorites, which allows you to access your favorite cycles with a single button!
Looked at all otherb brands before choosing Cafe.This was disherwasher I went with. $$$ but worth every penny compared to all others. Quiet, 3 racks, better built than all other brands, love the glass front.
I am enjoying this Cafe Microwave. The features are great and like the various options to load everything. The only thing I wish was different was the normal drying setting dried more. For full drying you have to use the Ulta setting.
